If you have to have knees, ankles, wrists, elbows and shoulders that are young or at least work very well for PRS! You need good mobility, some ability to sprint and to get up and down from the ground quickly and some flexability for PRS. Some cardio does not hurt either. You do not need any of that for F Class at all! In fact you practicaly be crippled and fat and still do well in F! Just like you have a huge belly and be draging an O2 tank around with you and still do BR or Cowboy Action Shooting!
PRS is really misnamed because it does not really require a very high level of precision to be good at by modern precision shooting standards. It at best requires moderate levels of precision but better than average health when looking at the health of the average American and average American competing at high levels in more traditional rifle sports.
Any time you have to run, gun and get into postions that would be inline with P90X, Yoga, or football practice getting up and down and twisting into odd shapes with unkwon ranges, time constraints, and barriers that is not about precision shooting!
The question lacks understanding on so many different levels about human athletism, precision shooting tecniques, the general age, weight, health distrubition amoungst the traditional NRA shooting sports as to sound silly. You might as well ask something like " Which athlete could transistion best to the other's sport a ballerina or an Olympic Weight Lifter?"
If we are going to do the Mighty Mouse vs Super Man argument the elite PRS shooter would have a better chance crossing over to F Open if we make this a blind blanket statement! Why? If they are already an Elite PRS competitor all we have to do is undo any bad habbits and make sure their reloading is on point! An experinced F-Open guy like me in his 50's that needs an new knee, bicep work and rotaor cuff work would not be up for PRS at an elite level. My health issues do not affect my ability to do F or Silhoutte.
For me the gold standard for precision shooting with a bolt action rifle is BR. As we move away from that and we get into more unsported shooting postions the faster precision required drops and it drops off in orders of magnatitude like the Richter Scale in terms of the huge gaps from one level to the next. Add in running or changing rapidly from one postion to another or any such nonsense and it just continues to degrade precision. In PRS a hit is a hit. You might as well be trying to compare marathon running to sprinting both forms of running but the divide is huge between with each being a so different as to be comparable directly!
